I used cream and black cardstock to create the card. The card itself is A2, as per the group instructions. I cut a mat with the same cardstock, and embossed the top portion. I scored two lines, and then left the bottom un-embossed. I put a black ribbon around the mat, between the two score lines. The flower was cut from Home Decor. I did the shadow in black and used the same cream cardstock for the top layer, embossing it with the same Cuttlebug folder used for the mat. I computer generated the sentiment and punched it with a Stampin' Up punch. The shadow punch is also Stampin' Up. I popped the flower and the sentiment and also added a couple of gems. Then I did it again, and again, and again...!!
